Ambergris in dried form. Ambergris (/ ˈ æ m b ər ɡ r iː s / or / ˈ æ m b ər ɡ r ɪ s /; Latin: ambra grisea; Old French: ambre gris), ambergrease, or grey amber is a solid, waxy, flammable substance of a dull grey or blackish colour produced in the digestive system of sperm whales. [1] Freshly produced ambergris has a marine, fecal odor.
A pomander, from French pomme d'ambre, i.e., apple of amber, is a ball made for perfumes, such as ambergris (hence the name), musk, or civet. [1] The pomander was worn or carried in a case as a protection against infection in times of pestilence or merely as a useful article to modify bad smells. [1]
The scent of amber was originally derived from emulating the scent of ambergris and/or the plant resin labdanum, but since sperm whales are endangered, the scent of amber is now largely derived from labdanum. [81] The term "amber" is loosely used to describe a scent that is warm, musky, rich and honey-like, and also somewhat earthy.
